I noticed that as well, he tried to smile while he was singing as he normally does, but something about it seemed strained. It hurt to watch.

You ladies wouldn't happen to recall what song or show that was, would you? I ask because I have a clip where Eddie's missing (just Paul, Otis, Melvin & Dennis performing), but not one where Paul's missing.
I'd love to see it. ;D

ABa21, if you don't mind me asking, what was going with Paul? Paul being ill is what I mean.

I've seen that look before on RIchard when he knew he was not going to be in the group any more.

"The song is 'I cant get next to you'..."
Thanks, Bumby...so is the one I was referring to. I think I posted that clip on TemptsInfo awhile back.
"The show is from 'Music Scene' They were introduced by Tommy Smothers and some girl...."
Thanks, K. I'm not familiar with that one. I'll have to dig around...

:(Now I understand Smooth . It was not clear to me, that you were speaking about a particular performance. I now know the performance your referring to, and I don't remember either why Paul was not there. I think it is safe to say, just as Otis felt the absence of Melvin, when he missed a show, Eddie was the same where Paul was concerned. One will never really know, why that particular time, he looked the way he did.

Yeah, you're right, but remember not singing enough leads over a good amount of time will bother somebody who wants to sing leads, and then you add to that he wanted to record solo records while still with The Tempts and he was told no,then you add to that he wanted to sing more love songs, that'll definitely push somebody to want to quit. When a singer walks off the stage after a performance and a performance is not even over, you know that singer's pissed off. I have heard people say that he just wanted to move on, but I can't see that as being the only reason, why would you walk off the stage, you must be "angry" about something. Even if you want to go your own way you would do it in a more professional manner, you just wouldn't walk off the stage and leave your other group members behind if you weren't pissed off about something. Eddie was tight about something, it had to be more then just him wanting to move on and nothing else. Yeah with all that combination, and them consistently telling him no...that had to bother him to no end. I mean who does that,....you really have to be upset if you just walk off stage during a performance. That is deep. I wonder after he did, did he immediately leave the Temptations and there were still no efforts to meet Eddie half ways or something.

I wonder after he did, did he immediately leave the Temptations and there were still no efforts to meet Eddie half ways or something. When did Eddie become short of leads? He had plenty of leads, they just weren't to the kind of songs he wanted to sing. He wanted to sing ballads, and that can't be the ONLY reason Eddie left, because he got his wish with Just My Imagination. He walked offstage after the performance, and never came back, not during the performance. That was a part of the movie. Also, we don't know that there WERE no efforts made to meet him halfway. Maybe he was being unreasonable. Supposed he didn't want to be met halfway?
